Okay, so I always talk about natural hair, the process of growing it, how to style it and what to expect amongst many other things. I have talked about natural hair so much that one of my readers has reminded me that I have completely forgotten about the relaxed community.

Even though there aren’t many relaxed women that I know, I still want to keep everyone interested. So with that being said, I have some tips of how to style short hair and make it look super cute.

This style can be for any woman that is either relaxed or transitioning as well as those natural women who are just tired of rocking the LBF all the time. (Lil Baby Fro)

In the video below, a young and fabulous hairstylist shows us a super quick and easy hairstyle that she performs on her client.

Using [easyazon_link asin=”B0007CXX82″ locale=”US” new_window=”default” nofollow=”default” tag=”youblawor-20″ add_to_cart=”default” cloaking=”default” localization=”default” popups=”default”]Biosilk Silk Therapy Serum, Packaging May Vary, 5.64 Ounces[/easyazon_link], which I know from experience is great for giving the hair enough shine without leaving the hair too heavily greased. It is also great for adding body to the hair and allowing it to flow beautifully.

After applying the light Biosilk product to her clients shampooed, conditioned and relaxed hair she then begins to flat iron. When flat ironing she explains that she is using a 1 inch flat iron as well as a quarter inch flat iron. These two irons are what give short hair its definition and detail.

Also, if you pay close attention to the video, she also shows you ladies how to flat iron the hair and give it a beautiful and flawless feathered look, making the hair look as if it has been layered without even having to cut it.

I hope that you ladies enjoy this video, I know that I sure did. This hairstyle is so cute, it almost makes me consider cutting my hair again… Naw, then again, I’ve worked hard to get my hair to where it is… I think I’m good, but if you ladies are looking for something to do to your own hair then this may be your video!
